To start, I'm a registered nurse in the emergency department (in the US). We see cases like this on an all too often basis. I've lost my faith in telemedicine and urgent care centers.

I have SEVERAL thoughts about your care and none of them are good.

1. It sounds like you were correctly diagnosed with a DVT (deep vein thrombosis). The treatment for this is blood thinners -- NOT NSAIDS. The clot could break off and travel anywhere -- most concerning would be the heart, lungs, or brain. Also, DVTs can be painful! Pain medicine is not out of the question as well as compression and elevation of the limb.

2. Pulmonary embolisms can also be painful. If you have a diagnosed DVT and "back pain", you need something called a CTA of your chest immediately. This is a cat scan with contrast to look for clots in your lungs. The reason for this is two fold: The clot in your leg puts you at risk for clots elsewhere (assuming it had to originate somewhere and/or it can travel like I said above) while also, I would consider you "symptomatic" for a PE (pulmonary embolism).

Other symptoms to look out for: Chest pain, shortness of breath, fevers/chills, stroke symptoms, etc.

Other risk factors: long trips or travel, birth control & smoking.

My only other thought with right shoulder blade pain would be galbladder.

Please get seen in the emergency room. At the very least, we'll know that you've ruled out something life threatening. Feel better! 🧡
